Image segmentation towards new image representation methods

Very low bit-rate video coding has recently become one of the most important areas of image communication and a large variety of applications have already been identified. Since conventional approaches are reaching a saturation point, in terms of coding efficiency, a new generation of video coding techniques, aiming at a deeper “understanding” of the image, is being studied. In this context, image analysis, particularly the identification of objects or regions in images (segmentation), is a very important step. This paper describes a segmentation algorithm based on split and merge. Images are first simplified using mathematical morphology operators, which eliminate perceptually less relevant details. The simplified image is then split according to a quad tree structure and the resulting regions are finally merged in three steps: merge, elimination of small regions and control of the number of regions.     

大鼠肾组织的超低温快速冷冻固定和冷冻置换研究

超低温快速冷冻固定以极高的冷冻速率（１００００Ｋ／ｓ）对生物组织进行物理固定，可使生物组织结构、组织内可溶性离子及游离性物质得到保存，使被固定后的生物组织保持最接近于原自然状态，这种样品制备方法大大优于化学制备法，因而在Ｘ－射线微分析及免疫细胞化学中得到广泛应用。生物样品超低温快速冷冻后，利用冷冻置换法，在低温下将生物组织内的结晶水缓慢置换出来，而后常规包埋切片，可获得理想的组织结构及组织内待分析成分。本文应用超低温快速冷冻固定技术及冷冻置换法对大鼠肾皮质部的快速冷冻固定及损伤进行探讨。

K~+-FREE INDUCED EARLY AFTERDEPOL-ARIZATION IN CARDIAC VENTRICULAR FIBERS OF GUINEA PIG AFTER COLD TREATMENT

The genesis and elimination of early afterdepolarizations (EADs) have been investigated in guinea pig cardiac ventricular fibers after a short period of cooling (5h, 2—4℃). After rewarming them to 37℃, EADs could be induced by K~+-free superfusion at an appropriate driving stimulation (0.2 Hz) in all preparations. A high level plateau, which linearly increases its duration with time, appears ahead of EADs. The critical point of the plateau occurred steadily at the level of -47±4 mV. Two types of triggered activity, all of which are the rhythmic activities in low level of membrane potential (-50 to -60 mV), appear on the platcau. There is no significant change after overdriving. Agonists of the Na-K pump (K~+ and Tl~+) could stop the rhythmic activity immediately and turn the low level of membrane potential to high one. The results showed that high level plateau is the basis of genesis of EADs, and the activation of Na-K pump plays an important part in stopping triggered rhythms arising from EADs.     

单分散纳米InVO4(正交相)的低温合成

InVO₄ is a new developed visible light responding photocatalyst for water decomposition, which is obtained by a solid-state reaction at high temperature traditionally. In this paper, pure InVO₄ nano-crystalline powder has been prepared by a hydrothermal process at low temperature and was characterized by TEM, IR, and X-ray diffraction. Many factors such as pH value, reaction time and temperature have been investigated. It is found that the optimal conditions for the preparation is: n_InCl3∶n_NaVO3=1∶2; temperature : 150 ℃; Reaction time: 4～8 h; pH=7.9～8.0. And the experimental result shows that it is a convenient way to get single dispersing InVO₄ nano-crystalline powder by flux in alkyl alcohol.

Investigation of glow discharge plasma for surface modification of polypropylene

Material surface properties of polymers, plastics, ceramics and textiles can be modified by atmospheric or low‐pressure glow discharge plasma. The aim of the present work is to study the surface modification of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film in order to improve its hydrophilic and wetting properties. In this article we used low‐pressure, low‐temperature oxygen plasma for the surface treatment of BOPP. Scanning electron microscopy indicates that plasma treatment causes mainly physical changes by creating microcraters and roughness on the surface and increasing surface friction. Attenuated total reflectance infrared spectra show oxygen‐containing groups such as ? OH at 3513 cm^?1 and C?O at 1695 cm^?1. Microscopic investigations of water droplets on BOPP (treated, untreated) show that the interfacial adhesion of treated surfaces is increased. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Structure and properties of compatibilized recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/linear low density polyethylene blends

Blends of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) were compatibilized with poly(styrene-ethylene/butyldiene-styrene) (SEBS) and maleic anhydride-grafted poly(styrene-ethylene/butyldiene-styrene) (SEBS-g-MA). Effects of compatilizer were evaluated systematically by study of mechanical, thermal and morphology properties together with crystallization behavior of PET. Tensile properties of the blends were improved effectively by the addition of 10 wt% SEBS-g-MA, elongation at break and charpy impact strength were increased with the increasing content of compatilizer. SEBS-g-MA is more effectual on mechanical properties of R-PET/LLDPE blends than SEBS. DSC analysis illustrates crystallinities of PET and LLDPE were increased by compatilizer at annealing condition. WAXD and FT-IR spectra show that annealing influences crystallization behavior of PET. Different compatilizer content results in different morphology structure, in particular, higher SEBS-g-MA content can induce the formation of a salami microstructure.
